In vain

By bcf1234 - 15/10/2010 04:06 - United States

Today, I waited in line at Subway. There were two people in front of me. The first lady had seven sandwiches and the second lady had four. So after patiently waiting, I ordered my sandwich, only to have my credit card declined. FML

Today, whilst working at Subway, I took an order for 6 footlongs. The entire process took 15 minutes due to the customer's hesitant and glacial pace. When it came to paying, he pulled out his wallet, looked inside, looked at me, and walked quickly out of the store. FML

Today, I was waiting in line while a lady paid for her shopping, when her credit card got declined. She started ranting and insulting everyone and kept insisting: "I'm not poor!" By the time the lady had finally stormed off, I had spittle on my face, and the cashier was almost in tears. FML

Today, my card got declined at Subway, so I walked to the nearest cashpoint thirty minutes away to frantically figure out how much cash I had in my card. As I went to pull my card out of my purse, it slipped from my grip and fell into the sewer. The guy behind me snorted with laughter. FML

Today, I was shopping at the grocery market and was next in line. Behind me was a woman who only had two items, so I nicely let her in front of me, as it looked like she was in a hurry. When she was all rung up, she decided to pay her $16.45 in loose change which needed to be counted out. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with my friend, where my credit card got denied in front of everyone. The staff teased me and made me sit in the restaurant while my friend begged for money outside. FML

Today, while paying for dinner, my card declined and my date immediately left. The waitress then ran my card again successfully. FML

Today, I decided to work on my social anxiety by ordering some food. I waited in line, practicing my order in my head all the way. When I got to the front, I said my order with no mistakes. The cashier just stared blankly at me until I mumbled, "Never mind..." and left. FML

Today, while checking out at Target, I had the choice of standing behind one lady or a long line. Naturally, I chose the former. Half an hour later, the long line had completely passed, and I was still standing behind the lady, who was now arguing with the cashier. FML

Today, a woman came in to order lunch. She ordered a sandwich then asked for me to configure it precisely to her complicated desires. This took a whole 5 minutes, during the lunch rush. When I told her the cost, she decided it was too expensive and cancelled her order. FML

Today, while standing in line at a local Mexican fast food place, I was feeling generous and let a little kid behind me go in front. Turns out he had a list, and was ordering food for his whole family. I had to wait 30 minutes to get my food. FML

Fat people have excellent credit. Is that the moral of the story?

Maybe she used her debit card, mine gets airline miles so I use it for everything... sucks that it was declined though. Fyl

Paying with a card is usually quicker than cash, you dont have to wait for your change or worry about dropping coins, etc. I always pay with a card, my money is direct deposited so I only take out cash if I need it. I never thought it was such a big deal.

I dont understand why everyone didn't vote that you deserved it... you obviously can't afford to eat out if you are financing a sandwich... let me guess- orchard bank card... 300 limit

Think about the guy behind you, he should be the one with the FML. "Today, at subway I waited patiently for the two women paying for their 11 sandwiches. After they finally got through, the guy in front of me had a declined card and threw a fi because of all the waitingt. I never did get my sandwich. FML."

YDI for going to Subway. You'd meet a better class of people at Quizno's.

I get what you mean OC but usually it's faster cause MOST places don't make you sign if the transaction us under 50$. I used to be a cashier at Target and cards are only faster if they have one of those "swipe and go" cards. Their cards don't work about 20% of the time anyway.

In my defense, I worked at a Subway before. Cash was ALWAYS faster than card, even after we got a faster Internet connection speed at the store. There's a few more buttons to hit for a card, more receipts to print, and the "checking for authorization" on the card if it's even valid. Much slower than someone handing me a $5.
